The Terminal

Woke up early today surprisingly. did nothing much also. Initially wanted to watch the olympics closing ceremony. but at abt 1 am then too tired, so i just went to sleep. wow. time passes so quickly. so fast the olympics have come to an end. No more olympic action. have to wait until beijing 2008, which then i would be like 22 yrs old. By then i would want to fly down to beijing to watch the games for myself. shld start saving now. oh ya, the men marathon came to a funny twist. apparently a crazy guy dashed out of nowhere and he pushed the leading runner to the side. in the end the runner finished 3rd. in fact, the games this time round got quite a lot of screws up but notheless still a great game.

i watched the terminal on my comp today. me being the ultra pirate again. but i downloaded cause it was released quite some time back n stupid singapore have not screened it until i think next week. It wasn't the usual action flick, exciting movie. in fact it was a slow paced one. Taking about this guy victor who was trapped in the JFK airport after being denying entry. it's interesting to see how life inside the airport is. The airport is also a place where i wanna work next time, if possible. it allows me to get close to the huge planes and of course meeting ppl frm all around the world. Think my dream of being a pilot is gone case and the next best place i wanna be would be the airport. Back to the movie, one thing amazing was that the set of the movie was actually a mock up of the actual JFK T4 terminal. Every details in the set follows the actual and the stores featured inside, like starbucks are actually fully functional. how marvelous was tat. And it was actually based on a true story of this guy who stay at paris CDG airport for 16 yrs. A iran exile i think. Today CNA did a feature of him and he said he one day, he does want to leave the airport.

i posted the pic to see if the pic posting would work.

"The Terminal" tells the story of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks), a visitor to New York from Eastern Europe, whose homeland erupts in a fiery coup while he is in the air en route to America. Stranded at Kennedy Airport with a passport from nowhere, he is unauthorized to actually enter the United States and must improvise his days and nights in the terminal’s international transit lounge until the war at home is over.As the weeks and months stretch on, Viktor finds the compressed universe of the terminal to be a richly complex world of absurdity, generosity, ambition, amusement, status, serendipity and even romance with a beautiful flight attendant named Amelia (Catherine Zeta-Jones). But Viktor has long worn out his welcome with airport official Frank Dixon, who considers him a bureaucratic glitch, a problem he cannot control but wants desperately to erase.

"Leaving On A Jet Plane" Chantel Kreviazuk

I'm ... I'm ...

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go

I'm standin' here outside your door

I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn

The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn

Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go'

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

I'm ...

There's so many times I've let you down

So many times I've played around

I'll tell you now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go, I think of you

Every song I sing, I sing for you

When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go'

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you

One more time, oh, let me kiss you

And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won't have to leave alone

About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'll wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go'

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

And I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go

Really zai. esp the russian team. well, they got gold anyway. oh yah, the music for the russian team was cocked up. they jump into the pool alreadly then the music stop. reminds me of PA. of course this doesn't happen all the time.

I Believe -- Fantasia Barrino & Diana Degarmo

Have you ever you ever reached a rainbow's end
And did you find your pot of gold
Ever catch a shooting star
Tell me how high did you soar
Ever felt like you were dreaming
Just to find that you're awake
Cause the magic that surrounds you
Will lift you up and guide you on your way

I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
See I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally yeah

I believe in the impossible
If I reach deep within my heart
Overcome any obstacle
Won't let this dream fall apart
See I strive to be the very best
Shine my light for all to see
Cause anything is possible
When you believe yeah

I can see it in the stars across the sky
Dreamt a hundred thousand dreams before
Now I finally realize
I've waited all my life for this moment to arrive
And finally I believe
Yes I believe
Ohh Yeah

Love keeps liftin me higher
Liftin me higher
Love keeps liftin me higher
I said love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me
I said Love keeps liften
Love keeps liften me higher
Said love keeps liften me higher
I said love keeps liften me high

Yeah! Finally the prelims are coming to a stop. only temporarily. Survived yesterday and today. gp paper sucks. it was on religion. really had no idea what to put for AQ. just crapped my way thru. and the design. how creative can the teachers get. actually they were quite easy, just have to think hard. The gd thing was that at least i didn't screw phy prac today. The whole thing went thru quite smoothly. but it was the lock up that sucks. Sat in the gym, listening to radio, playing cards, rotting.. whatever... went to adam's road to eat after tat. some stupid uncle sort of pissed me off a bit. I went to buy sugarcane juice and he came asking me what i want. i am not sure if his stall got sell sugarcane juice as it was a fruits store, so i asked him ' got sell sugarcane juice?' He then replied bluntly " sugarcane is right beside there. u got no eyes to see ah? the word so big" (translated frm chinese). It was like WTF! not happy i never buy frm him izit? i shouldn't have even bothered to reply him. got business let him do he dun want.. F*cK! but tat didn't spoil my mood though

yeah! no sch for 3 days.

Listening to kelly clarkson's breakaway. damm! it's good!!

Breakaway - Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I just stared out my window

Dreaming of a could-be

And if I'd end up happy

I would pray (I would pray)

Trying not to reach out

But when I'd try to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I pray (I would pray)

I could breakaway

[Chorus:]I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky

I'll make a wish Take a chance Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I loved

I'll take a risk

Take a chance Make a change

And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train

Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)

And breakaway

[Chorus:]I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish Take a chance Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance Make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging around wild indoors

Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but

Gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings

And I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye

I gotta take a risk

Take chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Well. it seems like a lot have happened this week. first was on wed morning,. received a message from kim and he told me that his father has passed away. It was like an instant shock to me. Everything seems to be ok for him and suddenly this happened. Spent the whole day in sch in a daze. even peiling n kaining were shocked. Realised later that his dad fell and hit his head and he just left. It's really very very sudden. We went to visit him on fri. My first time at a fren's parent funeral. Luckily i didn't have all the awkard scene that i had imagined. He seems ok, serving us. Not sure if he is really alright. If he is, then it would be good. Take care pal. And it also happened that my grandma got admitted into hospital. At first, it was a mild stroke. She recovered after that, but today when i visited her, dunno why she kept vormitting. she wouldn't eat anything too. Haizzzz. All these things happening really makes me think abt life. Have we lived life to the fullest??

ok. enough of the sad stuff. Had maths mock exam today. It was the only paper in my nj life that i knew how to do most of the qns. but still screwed some of the qns. thinking a B shld be possible. And this morning had some dogshit luck. Went into LT 5, then sat down on the chair. and it was oh shit! could feel my butt turning wet. shit! i have sat into a chair with water. WTF! it wasn't a good sign though.

Watch the table tennis match today. Li jiawei just lost out by 2 pts. think she will be gek like siao loh. It was a good fight however. Even if she did win a medal, i really wouldn't be really proud cause she ain't a true blue singaporean. are singaporean really talentless? not so i guess. in sports, yes. we seems hopeless at the international level, but in the regional level, out swim team is rather zai rite. and others like steph sun? she's a singapore talent. talking abt talent, i missed thu episode of s'pore idol. was just too tired after sch tat day that i just lied down on bed and then just slept all the way till the morning.

oh. nothing much. prelims next. got GP and prac next week. and it sucks that i am in the first shift and of all places, why have to lock up area be the gym? have to sit on the floor. i can't imagine. luckily there is only 1 practical for me to go thru.

i am trying to learn how to post music on the site. anyone knows can teach me??

twins effect 2

today was econs mock exam. as usual, cannot finish studying, cannot finish doing also. it's a torture spending 2hr15min in LT 1 writing essays. at the end of it, i was like forget it. buck up next time round.

went to watch the twins effect 2 after the mock exam. wah piang. super bloody lame loh. what in this country the women are superior over men and men are slaves to be sold abt by women. the men are called 'ling dang' or 'dumbells'. lame lah. then the jokes. omg! had me laughing like siao. esp the last part, was laughing like siao. never twins effect 2 to be such a crap after watchng the first one. really help to destress after watching the movie.

the olympic action are so so so great! too bad all the action are in the middle of the night, with only a few in the evenings, when i can watch. how i wish there is a channel dedicated totally to the olympics here in spore. watched the opening ceremony just now, still think the lighting of the flame was more zai back in aussie in 2000. 16 days of action. oh god, don't think i gonna study.

yesterday was ndc celebrations. well, the whole thing was totally boring. Really, last yr was great. this yr, haizzz. just rotting at the corner of the grandstand. this yr PA cocked up quite a bit, not like last yr, everything went perfect. after the whole thing ended, which was surprisingly early at bout 9.30, went to rot around with pa ppl. helped the yr 1 pack up. it was the JTS (junior treat senior) after the whole thing. apparently dunno who managed to coax the j1 into treating us, but having something is good. hope it become a tradition. decided to go to marina square. after a long bus ride and being frozen to death by the cold wee leng, we reached there. didn't know the whole place was undergoing renovation. luckily seoul garden was still open. but the bad news is tat we have to wait until 2.30 loh. sianzz. can see 03s09 was inside alreadly. then we made a reservation and went to bowl. haven't bowled like for 3 yrs. and my skills totally sucks lah.

after bowling, we went back and after waiting and laming around, we got the seats. then they do not have enough plate. have to use the small plate to get food. didn't know the marina sq outlet used charcoal instead of gas. then the fire was damm small loh. after having my fill, then we sat around and literally messed up the place. jiankai and benji were trying out their new reciepe, what beef with icecream, frying noodles whatever. we were all laughing like mad at jiankai antics. in the end he burned the servatte in the pit, togethe with chopsticks and whatever. after the meal, we walked to the esplande. surprised to see liujia with her bf, another prc, huajie i think. benji and i suggested to go play bumper car, but it was $4. so damm ex. so end up walking walking walking until suntec city. wanted to catch the village, but the timing too late. in the end took a cab with cheegiap home. wow. very long haven got such a good time. can rot around, toking cock.

This stupid thing wee leng said really craked me up.
wee leng: (to yefan) oei! yefan, chee giap wants to eat you.
yefan: what want to eat me?
wee leng: chee giap wants to eat sai!

today had practically slept the whole day. feeling a bit sick. must be the seoul garden. gotta start mugging tmr..
